| Summary | The present study developed and implemented a prototype software for the automated timetabling of trains. By combining numerous core techniques with the Railway Decision Support Platform (RDSP), the resulting system is able to perform a set of functions that facilitate the automation of train timetabling. The six major components of the system include (1) a service planning module that yields service plans by reading transportation demand and train service templates; (2) a timetable solving module that is able to automatically insert additional trains into a given background timetable; (3) a travel map display module which is produced from a given timetable; (4) a conflict checking module that examines a given timetable to identify embedded conflicts; (5) a conflict resolving module that automatically resolves conflicts; and (6) a timetable manager module. This system not only serves as a powerful support system for the Taiwan Railways Administration, but can also be used to evaluate railway public investment projects more comprehensively than before. |
